Has solar cycle 25 started?

The ARRL’s Propagation Forecast Bulletin #1 for 2020, dated January 3, reports the following:

Sunspots appeared recently, all indicating Solar Cycle 25 due to
their polarity, opposite from spots in Solar Cycle 24. Sunspots
appeared December 24-26, and it looks like a new Solar Cycle 25 spot
on January 1.  NOAA did not report it (too weak?) but
Spaceweather.com reported a sunspot number of 11 on January 1.

On January 2 NOAA reported the new spot with a sunspot number of 23.

Sounds like good news to me.

As a literary aside, I was going to title this post, “All good things come to those who wait.” For some reason, I thought this was a quote from the Bible. Instead, the Phrase Finder notes the following:

This proverbial saying was used by the English poet Lady Mary Montgomerie Currie (1843-1905), under her pseudonym of Violet Fane, in her poem Tout vient a qui sait attendre:

ALL hoped-for things will come to you
Who have the strength to watch and wait,
Our longings spur the steeds of Fate,
This has been said by one who knew.

‘Ah, all things come to those who wait,’
(I say these words to make me glad),
But something answers soft and sad,
‘They come, but often come too late.’

This is quite a different meaning from my original understanding.
